MACY’s AWARDS Ladies & Gentlemen!
So for those of you who don’t know what the MACY’s are, they’re a big deal here in SoCal. It’s our regional theatre awards ceremony where schools in the area compete with the musicals of the season. (I have no idea if that makes sense, it’s just a competition and the awards ceremony is FIVE HOURS long. Not even exaggerating.) This year we brought Little Shop & it was awesome.
So my pal Michael and I had the super sickkkk opportunity to perform in the Opening Number with two kids from every school. We made a handful of friends & I reconnected with so manyyy cool people who I love and adore very much.
On top of performing in the Opening Number, we got asked to PERFORM at the MACY’s Awards this year! That was sick. So friggin’ cool. We got to perform this medley of a bunch of different songs and it was so rad to be back again on the Segerstrom stage. Every time I’m on it, it’s magical, but to have a microphone and be able to sing with my favorite people on this stage was even more special. It was so cool.
And then to make things EVEN BETTER, our cast won the show award for BEST PROPS thanks to our BEAUTIFUL AUDREY TWOS and we also won the STARLIGHT award, so that was so so sooooo awesome! The whole night was even more special too because my best friends and I won HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT awards! It was so freaking amazing to be able to walk across the stage with these people that I’ve worked my booty off with and receive trophies together. SUPER SPECIAL. &&& My friend Michael (another Michael lol- I know, I know too many people with the same names hehe!) won the award for BEST ACTOR and is going to be headed to the Jimmy Awards (HOSTED BY BEN PLATT) in New York, so send some prayers & wish this kid the best of luck because bro deserves the world!
So I know that this post isn’t very long, but there were so many good things that happened at MACY’s Awards. I know that this post won’t make a ton of sense to those of y’all who don’t know what I’m talking about, but I wanted to be able to write SOMETHING and document everything that sorta happened. SUPER CRAZY THINGS.
Much Love,
Del
